Environmentally Assisted Cracking Initiation in High-Temperature Water
Metals, 2021 Environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) is a very complex process that develops in materials that involve combining actions of environment and tensile loading. Crack initiation is the least explored stage and is not clearly defined.

On short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 The behavior of short cracks that depart from elastoplastic notch tips is modeled to estimate the stresses required to initiate and to propagate cracks in notched structural components, and to evaluate the size of tolerable crack-like defects under ...
